Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2550: 2486: Ambush on Cheng Cheng

Chiang Xiao's thoughts were in slight disarray, and once the Meng Family father and son departed, she placed a call to D State.

The phone rang and was answered, though Chen Yiping took the call.

Chiang Xiao felt immense surprise at this.

“Doctor Chen, is my father not there?”

Chen Yiping shut the book he'd been flipping through.

“Xiao Chiang, the Jiang Family is currently entertaining Old Master Lu, with Sixth Young Master present as well.”

Chiang Xiao's heart jolted suddenly.

Has Old Master Lu finally reached the Jiang Family?

“Sixth Young Master might have anticipated your call, and being the idle one at the Jiang Family, he asked me to stay here.” Chen Yiping clarified why he was at Jiang Shiheng’s residence.

“Then… did Grandpa Chen go too?” Chiang Xiao inquired.

“Yes, he joined as a guest invitee.”

“Doctor Chen, did Sun Han accompany my father?” Chiang Xiao was concerned about that too.

She had dispatched Sun Han to remain constantly beside Jiang Liu, expecting reliability from him.

Chen Yiping replied, “He did go, so relax. I've noticed Sun Han staying close to Sixth Young Master lately.”

Chiang Xiao gained a measure of relief, yet full reassurance eluded her.

Unable to attend personally, she relied on Chen Yiping for updates.

Oh, right—Cheng Cheng.

Chiang Xiao promptly inquired about Cheng Cheng.

Chen Yiping responded, “Cheng Cheng said he'd rush over, but currently, his arrival status is unknown. He hadn't made it when Sixth Young Master left.”

Cheng Cheng ought to have reached the Jiang Family by now. What's happening?

Chiang Xiao harbored some irritation toward Cheng Cheng, stemming from viewing him as a true big brother, part of her circle, believing his presence would offer comfort—that's why her anger ran so deep.

Cheng Cheng gripped the wheel of his car, a touch of anxiety gnawing at him.

An urgent Alliance mission had arisen today, impossible to skip. After wrapping up what was really Mingtian's job, he headed for the Jiang Family, arriving late as night had fully fallen.

The Jiang Family banquet had surely commenced.

Even at the Jiang Family with crowds watching, mishaps seemed unlikely in theory, yet this marked Ah Liu's first encounter with Lu Family's Old Master Lu since returning, stirring Cheng Cheng's unease. Chiang Xiao undoubtedly wished him guarding Ah Liu, aware that failing to arrive would earn a scolding from that fiery girl.

With these thoughts, Cheng Cheng accelerated once more.

A shadow abruptly burst from the forward shadows.

Without any prior sign, it bolted straight into the road's middle.

Cheng Cheng's gaze intensified, wrenching the steering wheel hard!

His reflexes proved lightning-fast.

Any other driver in that instant would've lacked time to swerve and smashed right in!

Bam.

The car's front collided brutally with a wall.

Next, it grazed the edge and veered outward.

A breach in the wall opened to a pond.

Spotting the water expanse looming ahead, Cheng Cheng's pupils shrank; he swiftly unbuckled his seatbelt while his free hand yanked the door open prior to impact.

Bam again.

The vehicle plunged fully into the pond.

Submerged, Cheng Cheng lunged to escape, but amid the murky depths, an abrupt push slammed his open door closed, aiming to imprison him.

Someone lurked in the water!
